TLDR
The comparison of two treatments generally falls into one of the following two categories: (a) a number of replications for each of the two treatments, which are unpaired, or (b) we may have a series of paired comparisons, some of which may be positive and some negative as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
The comparison of two treatments generally falls into one of the following two categories: (a) we may have a number of replications for each of the two treatments, which are unpaired, or (b) we may have a number of paired comparisons leading to a series of differences, some of which may be positive and some negative. The appropriate methods for testing the significance of the differences of the means in these two cases are described in most of the textbooks on statistical methods.

A New Dominance Relation-Based Evolutionary Algorithm for Many-Objective Optimization

TL;DR: In this paper, an evolutionary algorithm based on a new dominance relation is proposed for many-objective optimization that aims to enhance the convergence of the recently suggested nondominated sorting genetic algorithm III by exploiting the fitness evaluation scheme in the MOEA based on decomposition.

Dominance by birthright: entry of prior radio producers and competitive ramifications in the U.S. television receiver industry

TL;DR: In this paper, the U.S. television receiver industry evolved to be an oligopoly dominated by firms that produced radios prior to TVs, and the evolution of the TV industry's market structure was critically shaped by radio experience prior to entry.
